PNP: AUV driver in Salilig hazing slay found dead at Taguig home READ MORE:
Adamson University student John Matthew Salilig was found dead in his house in Taguig City, the Philippine National Police said Friday.Meanwhile, three more persons of interest in the hazing death of chemical engineering student Salilig said they want to surrender, police in Laguna said Friday.
At least 10 persons of interest are still at large. Seven are already in police custody, six of whom have already been charged with violating the Anti-Hazing Law.The battered and decomposing body of Salilig, 24, was found in a shallow grave in Imus, Cavite on Tuesday, 10 days after he was first reported missing.
“I haven’t read the resolution myself… all I know is that the resolution was for dismissal. It did not reach the level of probable cause with reasonable certainty of conviction,” he said. The DOJ, meanwhile, also ordered the National Bureau of Investigation to probe the circumstances surrounding the death of University of Cebu marine engineering student Ronnel M. Baguio, who also died after undergoing hazing by members of the Tau Gamma Phi fraternity on Dec. 19, 2022.
The PAO announced that it had granted the request of the families of Salilig and Baguio for legal assistance. “We need to put more teeth into the law if we are really dead serious about stopping hazing,” Acosta added. Deputy Minority Leader Risa Hontiveros, who strongly objected to the ROTC bill, said she has been consistently calling for reconsidering moves to revive the mandatory ROTC program.She recalled that the murder of Mark Welson Chua after he exposed corruption and extortion in the ROTC program was the reason it was shut down decades ago. “Until now, justice has not been fully served to the family,” she said.
